A very precious love is what you are to me
A stairway to a star a night in shangri-la of ecstasy
Lanterns of gold lanterns of blue
Twinkle in the shadows while I dance with you
An echo in the wind (an echo in the wind)
Across the summer lake (across the summer lake)
Is saying you should know
That lanterns lose their glow
And hearts can break (and hearts can break)
So hold me close, my darling
Then kiss me tenderly
And give your precious love
Your very precious love to me (my very precious love)
